Title: Method and device for producing a metal strip in a strip casting machine with rolls
Inventor: MARTI HEINRICH
IPC: B22D11/115
Filed: 2002-09-13
Abstract: The invention concerns a method for producing a metal strip, whereby molten is continuously poured between two casting rolls ( 1, 2 ) of a strip casting machine with rolls. Above the molten bath ( 4 ) and respectively proximate to the molten bath ( 5 ) casting rolls ( 1, 2 ) transition surface a rotating magnetic field is produced which generates, in the molten metal, local turbulent flows, so that a surface current is formed in said molten metal, which surface current is directed by the casting rolls ( 1, 2 ) towards the central plane (E) of the molten bath ( 4 ), that is towards the plane for output of the metal strip ( 8 ), thereby enabling to largely prevent supernatant impurities at the surface of the molten bath and oxides located on the surface of the rolls from being deposited, and the molten metal particles from being prematurely solidified.

Abstract: An inductive bridge circuit using mutual inductances to
transform impedances is used for detection of wall-thinning defects
in metals. The bridge circuit has a first test coil placed
adjacent to a good metal section and a second test coil placed
adjacent to a metal to be tested. The bridge circuit compares the
inductance in the first coil and inductance in the second test coil
to compare wall thinning defects. The apparatus may also include
first and second measuring transformers which are connected between
the bridge circuit and the test coils where the transformers
provide for impedance matching and reduced current requirements in
the bridge. The circuit may also include one or more potentiometer
circuits connected across the bridge which are used for
compensating for imbalance of impedance between the first and
second test coils when the coils both have known good metal
sections adjacent to them.

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus and method for providing a
programmable inverse discrete cosine transform, wherein the transform coefficients
are loaded into a memory area of a core transform device and a variety of coding
standards can thereby be handled by the same programmable core device. The core
device is configured to process a certain sized data block, and the incoming source
blocks are converted to conform to this size. After transformation, the proper sized
result can be extracted from the transform device output. A switchable speed-up
mode provides for 4-point transforms, rather than 8-point transforms. Alternatively,
the invention also provides for dedicated transform hardware to be switchably used in
conjunction with programmable transform hardware, depending upon the type of
coding being used, and the speed of inverse transform desired.
